Sitting in the heart of Barcelona's most luxurious shopping district, Passeig de Gràcia, Majestic Hotel & Spa boasts one of the most desirable locations in the city. The impressive neoclassical façade is a hallmark of the hotel, which opened in 1918 and is still run by the original family. Inside, the recently renovated interiors reflect a sophisticated but still classic ethos.
